Hey y’all! Oh my goodness—today is bursting with excitement, and I truly feel like a kid on Christmas morning! A brand-new catalog, fresh Online Exclusives, two new Kits, a brand-new Product of the Month…there is so many goodies releasing today. If you’ve been waiting for a creative spark, this is your moment—so grab a coffee/tea/cola and let’s dive in!
First up, this is the last week to subscribe to the May Paper Pumpkin, Sparkling Celebrations! Be sure to get signed up by May 10 so that box of crafty fun shows up at your door. Trust me, this one is going to be a good one.
Now let’s talk about something I am extra excited about—because if you’re even a little bit tempted, this is the time to JOIN as a demonstrator. Starting today, when you join as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, you will get the brand-new 2026–2028 In Color Stampin’ Pads FREE…and y’all, these are the new magnetic style pads (game changer!). Or, if you’d rather, you can swap that bonus for extra product credit. Either way, it’s an incredible deal, and it’s the perfect way to jump in and start creating while enjoying that sweet 20–25% discount, early access, and all the fun perks.
And here’s a big one… Creativity Now registration is officially open! This is one of those events that is just packed with inspiration, training, and community—and it’s available only to demonstrators. If you’ve ever thought about joining “just for the discount,” this is one of those moments where it turns into so much more. You get to be part of something really special.
There’s even more fun coming your way—starting today, you can grab the brand-new Paper Mixer Craft Class! You can craft along with a whole community May 21 at 2:00 p.m. (MT) on an exclusive Facebook page, or watch it on your own time if that fits your schedule better. I love options like that—crafting your way, on your time.
And the May Online Class featuring the Relaxing Waterside Bundle is ready to go, and it’s full of those peaceful, laid-back designs (hello, Adirondack chairs!) that are just perfect for Father’s Day, summer cards, and beyond.
Whew…told you it was a big day! So many ways to create, connect, and get inspired—and I’m so glad we get to do it together. Keep scrolling for all the details, and be sure to check out the quick links at the end for easy access to all the goodness!
Exciting New Starter Kit Offers: Starting on May 5th, the very same day the new catalog drops, when you join as a demonstrator, you can choose a fabulous bonus with your Starter Kit. You’ll receive the brand-new 2026–2028 In Color Stampin’ Pads FREE, or if you’d prefer, you can swap that option for an extra $35 USD | $50 CAD in products (that’s $160 USD | $215 CAD worth of goodies for just $99 USD | $135 CAD!). It’s the perfect time to jump in and start creating while enjoying all the amazing demonstrator perks, including a 20–25% discount on products, early access to new releases and catalogs, opportunities to earn a little extra, and invitations to exclusive training and crafting events. This limited-time offer runs through May 31st. If you’ve been thinking about joining, now’s the time! Stamping is always more fun together!
